Creative Melancholic’s Top10 2010 Posters – Part 1
9. Creation
You’re probably wondering, “what is this doing here? It’s just a monkey and a man, pointing at each other on a white background. What’s so interesting about that?!” Well, my friend… it’s the minimalistic nature of the poster what caught my eye.
I love that it had a reference to one of the most influential paintings in the world, the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, and minimalism sometimes do mean more than less. It’s simple. It’s clean, and it briefly gives an idea of what the movie is about.
8. The Runaways
I know this is merely a teaser poster for the movie The Runaways, but I can’t help myself. Again, minimalism comes to play here, and it was a clever way to apply one of The Runaways hit single, Cherry Bomb, as a reference to the movie.
Though I must admit, I think this is the only poster that I liked compared to the other official poster. Guess Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning‘s lesbian sex scene aren’t as appealing as I thought.
Great first batch, I love the art direction on the Alice posters (FYI: I did enjoy the film, it felt super girl power LOL). I agree on The Runaways having only that one good poster.
Of course I have a terrible bias for the Black Swan posters, especially the limited editions xD But did you noticed that the poster with Portman's White Swan face has two version? One looks slightly asymmetrical, while this one is the "pretty" version xD They made the change after the film got released and picked up steam. I still wonder why they did it though.
I was also impressed with the characters posters for From Paris with Love – the film… not so much xD I felt really uncomfortable to laugh at it LOL
Great selection! Amy :)
JK, This is the Other Amy, just… FYI ;P Her name is also Amy Wong, and is a designer from Brunei – take that as coincidence! =D

No wonder! I'm getting all confused with you two!!!!
When I found her blog, it was like the Twilight Zone. We were blogging about similar stuff xD – and many of her picks for posters were my fave this year too.
